Viking Johnson Goes Down Under
Posted on 01st Feb 2003
Hitchin-based pipe joint and repair products manufacturer Viking Johnson has received two substantial orders from new distributors in New Zealand, Mico Wakefield and Hynds.
The Viking Johnson range of MaxiFit universal pipe couplings represents the very latest in mechanical pipe coupling technology. MaxiFit products are designed to accommodate plain ended pipes with different outside diameters, thus reducing stocks. One fitting is able to connect steel, ductile iron, metric and imperial PVC-U or asbestos cement pipe, accommodating an outside diameter range of up to 26mm (1.01ins) per nominal size.
“New Zealand is a very interesting and challenging market,” says Jonathan Lean, Viking Johnson export manager. “There’s a lot of regeneration work going on at the moment, as well as some very large new-build projects. These two orders are the first we’ve received from our new distributors, and we are excited about future prospects in the New Zealand market.”
